Mackyard ULTRA 24 - 2026

Big thank you to the legends at Mackyard Events™ for having us to the awesome 24 hour backyard event on Saturday night! What an incredible event with such awesome vibes. Amazing to put some of the boys to the test and hit 100km for the first time for some of these legends!

Shoutout Elyzabeth Marsh Steve Kjar for crewing the entire event and keeping spirits so high throughout the night - we couldn’t have done it without you!

We’ll be back for another attempt and to enjoy the amazing vibes and support!

Brighton Half Marathon - 28th February
Barcelona Marathon - 14th March (Flights and accommodation package)
London Landmarks - 4th April

We'll have more events coming up for later in the year. But these are all awesome places to either start your running journey or set a new goal and PB! Even if you're new to running or want some professional help, feel free to get in touch and have a chat with one of our incredible coaches about how to progress your running! We're the running people after all!

Set yourself a new challenge for 2027, see you on the road!

13.1 miles and a lot to celebrate. Every medal has been hard earned by these incredible young people, over months of training despite a world of difficulties they individually faced. Congratulations to the brilliant young people, coaches and volunteers who make this run such a special day for the charity.

These ladies can run 💪

A big thank you to Sophie, Jen and Sarah from the SheRaces team for supporting our young women through their Impact Programme to attend the SheRaces Trail Series in Dorking over the weekend.

Also thanks to Rik and the Phoenix Running Ltd team, who provided the best aid stations the young people have ever seen. It was certainly one of the talking points, along with the views, how encouraging the whole event was overall, and the sparkly finishers' medal.

There were plenty of smiles, selfies, challenging moments, and fantastic finish line experiences. Also, a massive shout out to Programme Coach, Libby, who put in a massive shift supporting two of our 50K runners for over 13 hours across the North Downs Way. Despite the long day, they all crossed the finish line with smiles on their faces.
